[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically they are solving the 'by right' dc high school challenge by building a high ses school and having some opportunity for low ses to attend, and by default doing that at Wilson too. Its solving the wrong problems.  And it's terrible to put a high school in such an inaccessible location.  What happened to equity? This is akin to people sleeping out to get a spot at a charter school.  You shouldn't be allowed to make something open for all and then build in barriers to make it not  open for all.  [/quote]

But it is not open to all, and not pretending to be. It is open to all by right who live in boundary, and by lottery/chance for those who don't.

There is a boundary system. Perhaps getting rid of that is a solution to some problems of equity. [/quote]

Non starter.[/quote]

Agree that it is a non starter, it is just annoying how people complain about equity issues (equal access to the high school with the best test scores) and the want to fix them ( which is nice, but don't say what fixed actually means) but fail to recognize the political arrangements which keep in place the boundary system are not going anywhere ( and be honest, all the equity loving people kinda like it that way), so the complaint is very tired.
